We joined at the same time, dudely... I remember that specifically... there was you, me and that BoneKrusher dude from the coalition who I think won n00b of the year that year (I wasn't even mentioned...and wasn't butthurt because I wouldn't have mentioned me either). I remember that luv chick posting something like, "whoa! Is there going to be some sort of n00b revolt?!"
Anyways, people responded much more positively to your posts than they did mine...presumably because your posts were better. Not to mention, you had a "**** you if you don't like what I have to say" vibe to your posts...mine didn't. You were welcomed with extended arms....I was welcomed with a beer-bong full of antifreeze, prepped and ready to be force-fed.
It wasn't a matter of being afraid or scared...it was a matter of being unconfident when I knew what I was up against...and ashamed with what I had written or said in football talks with my friends previously, for I accepted the epiphany that I was likely incorrect about a lot of shit.
